1. Sign up for a free Amazon Prime account. If you enroll in a free, 30-day trial, you can still cash on the savings. Just remember to cancel before you are charged the $99 annual membership free.

2. Make a list to stay within your budget. Woroch recommends purchasing items that need replaced and even doing some back-to-school shopping.

3. Do your research so you know you’re getting the best deal. The website TrackIf.com shows you when prices drops, while PriceBlink lets you know if there is a better price elsewhere.

4. Load your cart early so you don’t miss out on a hot deal. Woroch says there’s no way to predict what will go on sale, but having items in your cart with help with quick checkout. She also suggests saving your shipping and billing information ahead of time.
